And the Farmington scarecrow contest winners are ...

Winners were named Saturday for Farmington's scarecrow contest — a friendly, creative competition that drew about 40 entries.

The Tin Man, created by Mike Zachos; Minions, created by Girl Scout Troop 70240; and Charlotte's Web, created by Garrite Maas, brought home first-place prizes for the adult, teen and children's category, respectively. For the business and group category, Forrest Gump, created by the city of Farmington's clerk/treasurer, was named first place.

This year's theme was "Farmington Goes to the Movies."

"It is very rewarding to see neighbors, Scout troops, businesses and individuals building civic awareness and at the same time having fun and contributing to the community," said Larry Kilner, chair of the Farmington Beautification Committee, which resurrected the contest after a few-year hiatus.

Other winners in the adult category are Nightmare Before Christmas, by Sean Murphy and Courtney Showalter, second place, and Laurel and Hardy, by Tim Roberts, third place. For the teen category, Wall-E, by Farmington Public Schools FIRST robotics team, won second place and Charlie Brown, by Carson Podolinski, won third place. In the children's category, Gianna Maas took second place prize for Dash and Ana Brewer took third place with Mother Gothel.
